Core Max 2.0 Smart Abs and Total Body Workout Cardio Home Gym

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Its definitely not for kids. Ive been doing 100s-1000s of sits usually daily for 15 years(on and off) before i used the ab rocket. But this, I could 100% feel the burn in my abs. However jus tliek with the ab rockets, the spring eventually broke but unlike with them. You can't simply replace the springs. So now only 6+ months later I have to buy another one.. I've only maybe intensely been using it the pats 3 months too. I kind of knew it was coming from past experience with these kinds of products. Just know they do work your abs and thats a fact.

I bought this gadget MOSTLY for working on my abs. Crunches make my neck hurt.This thing is pretty easy to use, and it does allow you to do crunches without the neck pain, but there is only one ab move, and I really wanted to work my upper, lower, side, etc.It is called “Core Max”, in all fairness, and has a routine for arms, booty, legs, abs. The booty thing, sitting on the rollers is VERY awkward and uncomfortable.PROS: Easy to use. Good videos on YOUTUBE “Core Max Workout Videos” with perky instructorsWorks different parts of your body.Makes a crunch pretty easy.Easy to adjust the height/tension, by lowering/raising the rollers.Stores flat, so you can stick it in a closet, under the bed. I didn’t want some bulky huge thing to unload at my next yard sale.CONS: Limited to 1 ab workout moveRollers are REALLY uncomfortable on my back - they dig in.Squeaky. Up and down, squeak squeak squeak. May try some WD-40, but it’s annoying.BOTTOM LINE: It’s rather pricey for what it does. Instead, I would recommend some Pilates workout equipment which will give you MUCH better results for a fraction of the cost.

for quick sit ups and doing steps and much more !

Good device to help out of shape people get the range of motion necessary for sit ups.I haven't used it for all the other exercises it claims to be able to do. I only use it to help assist me when doing traditional crunches/situps.With this device I can do 100 sit ups in the full range of motion taking it in intervals of 10-25 situps at a time (basically crunch my way through long commercial breaks) whereas I could barely do 10 traditional situps. Not surprising since I have it on the easiest setting it must be assisting with half the weight of my torso. I'm right about 5 ft tall and around 160-165 lbs so I'm not quite sure where the bar should land on my back or what setting I really should be using to actually getacimum effects but it works with me either scooted up all the way back or all the way forward. I definitely feel a little winded after an interval of 25 sit ups (exhale on the up) and the next day I can feel just a little bit of soreness as if I laughed at a comedy club the night before.It is extremely easy to use and does fold down very easily to slide under a bed for storage. I've had mine less than a month so will update after several months of use. I figure if it gets me to do 100 crunches 5 days a week even if it kicks the bucket for under 100 it was worth it.It is extremely quiet and doesn't make any weird squeaky noises you'd want to drown out with headphones. If you take the strokes up and down easy you could in theory make the workout more pilates like.

I had a stroke 4 months ago and lost the mobility in my whole right side. I’ve exercised everyday - getting the strength in my leg and arm has been so hard! But as soon as I got this machine I felt like the strength started coming back so much faster. I use it with my arms and shoulders and leg and hip and I can do sit ups with it. It has been so so helpful! It has helped me build strength better than any one thing! Every stroke patient needs this!!
